You know, I didn’t have time to really get the lowdown on this but I’m throwing it out there because we have some foodies in our audience and even a longtime employee of the Television Food Network will drop in now and then. This is a link to a story that the TFN is putting together a cooking show with toughguy Charles Oakley as the host and cook, I guess. Astounding. And quite possibly, brilliantly sublime. Who could resist Charles Oakley serving up the facial?

In other news, I have been enjoying Dave Cone doing the Yankee broadcasts recently. He’s like Hernandez for pitchers. Total inside stuff and totally frank. He doesn’t treat you like a dope like all announcers do. And he doesn’t do the Al-Yankqazeera stuff that dopey Yankee fans just seem to eat up. That’s what Michael Kay is for.
Last night, they are getting into tipping pitches and looking at closeups of Rafael Betancourt’s hands and Flaherty and Coney are doing the topic some justice and Kay is riding along. Funny how they never broached the fact that Andy Pettite (genuflect) was tipping his pitches in Arizona in Game 6 in 2001and got lit up and chased in the 2nd. That would have been a great time to get into that, boys. But, alas, I guess the Yankees don’t make mistakes. Or at least Andy Pettite. Mistakes like taking the HGH and then lying about it and coming out and admitting that your dad got stuff for you and you took it more than the 2 times you told George Mitchell’s boys. Mistakes like trying to protect your friend Roger Clemens and then at the press conference, telling everyone that you aren’t going to talk about Clemens and the “misremembering” he has you doing. Great. Wrap yourselves in the flags, guys. –Fog
